Two months ago we hit a deer and totaled out our van. So we went and Picked out a different used car. Loved it. Drove it for a week and it would not accelerate. Took it to our usual mechanic and he said take it back and see if they will fix it so we did. It has been seen buy at least 10 mechanics and no one has a fix even tho it has a lot of new parts. Today I called for a status report and they are offering me something different. They have been great about giving me a car to drive all this time. I have had at least 6 different ones. I do not know what to do. Hubby and I will have a serious discussion about it tonight I guess. Frustrated is sure a word that has come to the top of my vocabulary. Sorry just had to vent!

I guess I just need to be thankful that they are working with me on this.

Cars must be getting more complicated. I have a friend who can not get his clutch fixed. They have put 3 different ones in and they just won't work.

They have put in 4 sensors, a timing chain a new computer new cadalitic converter, new muffler, plus a few other things I do not remember the names of. They have now paid out more than their profits were.

Fantastic. It sure was great that the dealer worked with you and supported you all the way. One doesn't hear that very often today! :)

Don't forget to give her a good name :)

I think people trade in cars that they are having problems with and then pass the problem to the next owner. I feel your frustration as I'm having used car trouble too.

I hope you have as good of luck as I had. I was very frustrated but they were always so nice.
